Weddings are important occasions. Two people exchange vows in front of family and friends, in public and begin a new life as a couple. Putting the scene for this event together is a complex system of coordinating the people, place, time of day, reception and dinner and the surroundings where the event will transpire. Somehow, the single thread that will draw the event together is the delicate flowers. Uncanny as it seems, the entire atmosphere of the wedding is impacted by the fragile blooms that once sprung from the soil as tender buds. Flowers have inspired poems and poets, lovers and love and instill memories in everyone. Their vibrant colors, myriad of shapes and sizes and their beloved fragrance has touched the senses of almost everyone at one time or another. Artificial flowers may look the part, but fail in almost every other aspect. Nothing has the sensory, emotional and memory creating power of fresh wedding flowers.

Planning a wedding is no easy job for any bride and groom. After setting the date, the process includes finding a place for the ceremony, the reception and dinner, deciding on the wedding dress, bridesmaid gowns and grooms' party attire, and selecting the floral arrangements that will make the day even more special. Flowers will be carried by the bride and bridesmaids, decorate the chapel or church, accent the reception hall, and occupy a place of beauty and honor at each table. The flowers will be coordinated to the theme and colors used by the wedding party and help amplify the beauty of the ceremony and reception venue. This is a very serious set of decisions for the couple to make and the fresh wedding flowers will be a central part of the theme.

Working with a professional floral provider is the best way to guarantee that the flowers will arrive fresh, stay fresh and show off the vitality and beauty that speak of the couple's love and hope for the future. Selecting the right flowers to use and which ones will stay fresh throughout the event and give off their fragrance is a matter of selecting an experienced and knowledgeable floral provider. Using decorative containers with the right amount of water will keep the freshness going beyond the reception. Guests often look forward to taking home the floral centerpieces from the tables. The flowers are enjoyed for their own beauty and as a reminder of the special day that has just passed into memory.

Flowers do many jobs at a wedding. They decorate the chapel or church, plus they have a symbolism and language of their own. Flowers speak in silence, saying more with their beauty and fragrance than mere words could ever do. They reflect the new beginning the couple is embarking on and the joy they share. The groupings of blooms and greenery depict the bringing together of unique elements united into a single entity that makes each individual component even better. What better way to depict the happiness shared by the couple and their families and friends? No one can really imagine a wedding without fresh wedding flowers – the day just wouldn't be the same.
